This film comes from French territory with the intention of taking a different look at France's participation in The Great War. The plot of a father and son who are taken from Nigeria to face a terrible war offers enough to make this a moving and tragic story, not forgetting to mention an ode to the soldiers fallen in battle whose identities have not been identified. It has good actors and good production to make this a good war movie. The bad thing is that there are few combat scenes and we mostly see the father and his son in many conversations, training and trying to survive in the hope of fleeing, although the son is slowly adapting to his new environment. It is a film that gives more priority to the uncomfortable and hostile situation that both protagonists experience, trying to make someone imagine what it would be like to be on a lethal battlefield with their son. It is not an exciting story of father and son facing war, but it is a war story that serves to take a look at one of the events that occurred in France during the war. My final rating for this movie is an 8/10.
